"Why can't there be anything done about Webshots itself. They provide a platform for people to share stolen artwork" But this could also be said about Renderosity galleries, or any other site that allows people to post images. It is impossible to check and verify copyright on every image that gets posted on sites like this, so things have to be taken on trust. Artists just have to be vigilant, and complain if piracy occurs. If Webshots are taking these works down when asked, I can't see what else can be done. Mick.
